    Results ultimately not too surprising! Always fun to see a number of people who learned in the 70s, 80s, and 90s before C89 was widespread. And glad for the people who get to learn with the latest and greatest available. C may not be a language I recommend for new projects anymore, but there will be existing projects written in C for a long time to come, and it's going to remain the Standard Interoperation ABI for a while as well, so it's still useful to learn it. Thanks for responding, everyone!

    @jrose No one believes me when I tell them I learned C++ before the STL either.
